Why do tragedies happen? * why do we sometimes have to endure pain? * why do 'bad things happen to good people'?

Why do we take the normality's of everyday life for granted? * Why do we berate and grumble about our friends and family just as much as we remember to be thankful for them? * why do we hate our job until we don't have work anymore? * Why do hurtful words come easier than those of healing? * why is it easier to judge than forgive? * why do we forget to look up at the sky with white puffy clouds floating by, the sun shining, birds singing, a slight breeze whispering through the trees, and take a breath of fresh air and thank God for the day? * why do we let ourselves get so caught up and stressed about such trivial things that we forget to see the little joys and beauty all around us every day?

Why?

why do we not appreciate our health until we are sick and in pain? * Why do we forget to be thankful for our freedom until we experience persecution? * Why do we see ourselves as better until we are broken? * why do we not say the words of love we feel until it is too late? * why do we not care about what we have until it is taken away? * why do we wait until we are face down before we remember to look up?

About Me

I like books, music, flowers – calla lilies are my favorite… I like the scent of vanilla, the colors purple and green… I like rain, lying on my back on the green grass watching the clouds float by… I like sitting around a campfire at night looking at the stars while a guitar plays softly in the background, the sound of a gentle wind whispering through the leaves… I like dancing crazy just for the fun of it, singing along with the radio… I like the warmth of a hug, the feel of waves lapping at my feet… I like the sound and feel of laughter, the smiles of children… I like the feel of the wind in my hair as I gallop my horse, the comfort of my dog lying on my feet… I like the feel of piano keys moving beneath my hands, escaping from the demands of a day if but for a moment… I like driving fast, having coffee with friends… I like knowing that I have friends, family, who love me, A God who will never leave my side…

Quotes

...sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand and what you've been up there searching for forever is in your hands when you figure out love is all that matters after all it sure makes everything else seem so small...
